Lars Muhl is a Danish writer, mystic and musician, born in Aarhus, Denmark in 1950.

For many years, Lars Muhl was a successful singer-songwriter in Denmark. Concurrently with his music career, he has engaged with self-studies of comparative religion, esoteric knowledge and philosophy since 1965, and from 1988 he has focused on Aramaic, Christian and Jewish mysticism.[1] He has written several books on these subjects and hosts workshops and lectures in Denmark and abroad.

Biography

[edit]

Lars Muhl started professional writing in 1965–66, at the age of 14, as a freelance journalist for the former regional newspaper Aarhus Amtstidende.[1] In 1993, he debuted as an author with his memoirs Sjæl i Flammer (lit.: Soul in Flames) and has written numerous books since then. In Sjæl i Flammer, Muhl describes how his childhood was marked by his younger sister's all too early death in 1960 and he claims this as the triggering factor in releasing an unusually sensitive and highly developed form of perceptual ability (ESP), enabling him to feel other people's pain as well as perceive hidden aspects of life.

Lars Muhl became an active musician in 1966, when he wrote for and played in the band Dragon Five (1966–68).[1] Since then, he has been in the rock bands Daisy (1968–74)[1] and Warm Guns (1978–84),[1] but has also performed and issued recordings as a solo artist and produced for other musicians. Muhl sings, plays keyboards, piano and guitar and he has composed many songs altogether of which quite a few has been interpreted by other musicians, both in Denmark and abroad. In Denmark, singer-songwriter Lis Sørensen has in particular performed Muhl-songs. In 1975–76, he studied at the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus.[1]

After falling ill in 1995, Lars Muhl stopped his musical career in 1999, to devote his time to esoteric studies and writing.[1] In The Seer, Muhl describes how he was struck down by an illness that defied diagnosis, and kept him confined to his bed for three years, until, through a close friend, he came into contact with a seer, Calle de Montségur, who got him out of his sick bed and afterwards took him under his wing as a kind of “sorcerer’s apprentice”. This apprenticeship lasted from 1998 until 2003. This meeting resulted in the spiritual trilogy The O Manuscript (The Seer, The Magdalene and The Grail).

Lars Muhl entered on Watkins’ list of the 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People[2] in 2013.[1]
